A little Papa Nurgle for Lost in the Warp

As published in James Craig's Lost in the Warp Blog...

 A short while back I was approached by James Craig to join with in with Shawn Welte [The Madhouse Workshop] to do a crossover project involving Chaos Beastmen. I was honored to be asked by these two extremely talented hobbyists and agreed to donate a model to the "cause". I've known James for quite awhile and Shawn even longer (we're the "Grumpy Old Coots" in double tournaments).  Anyhooo...

James wanted a Nurgle Themed Beastmen and I just happened to have a Nurgle Minotaur conversion that was...
...languishing unfinished in the WIP cabinet needing to be completed

Yes, I have a WIP cabinet...sigh 

 The model is based off the now OOP metal GW Minotaur Lord:

The Stock model... Please note that I stole this picture from the internet

As I was unhappy with the lame a** " 'ere we go pose". [GW often picks the most asinine poses for their models]; I reworked the arms by rotating and pinning the arms in a more enraged pose. Combining a subtle shift in the models attitude by placing the lead leg on an elevation with the reposed arms gives the figure a more dominate and active presentation [Can you tell I am a Graphic Designer :)]:

 After that, the rest was pretty straight forward nurgleness conversion.  Boils, tenticles, etc.

The Finished Model:

What is more Nurgly than Cleavers?

 I can't wait to see Jame's paint on it!

As always, thanks for looking...
